< 2 Timothy 2 >
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Te dongah ka ca nang Khrih Jesuh ah lungvatnah neh thaphoh uh.
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will be able to teach others also.
Te khaw kai lamloh laipai a yet neh na yaak coeng. He he uepom hlang taengah pae ne. Amih tah a tloe thuituen ham khaw khangmai la om bitni.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Jesuh Khrih kah rhalkap then la patang puei.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Aka vathoh loh a khosaknah dongkah khosak rhamok neh a tingtong pawt daengah ni caemthoh te kolo la a om eh.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
Khat khat long khaw a loehlang dae a longim pawt la a loehlang atah rhuisam a khuem moenih.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
Thakthae lotawn te lamhma la a thaih a dang ham a kuek.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Ka thui te yakming lah. A cungkuem dongah yakmingnah te Boeipa loh nang ham m'paek bitni.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News,
Kaimih kah olthangthen vanbangla David tiingan lamkah neh duek lamkah aka thoo Jesuh Khrih te poek.
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
Te ham te laihmuh bangla thongtlak hilah ka patang dae Pathen kah Olka tah pinyen hlan.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory. (aiōnios )
Te dongah a coelh rhoek ham te boeih ka ueh. Te daengah ni khangnah te amih loh dungyan thangpomnah neh Khrih Jesuh ah a dang uh van eh. (aiōnios )
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
He ol he a uepom ta. N'duek atah n'hing puei van ni ta.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
N'ueh uh atah m'manghai uh van ni ta. N'hnawt uh van atah amah loh mamih he n'hnawt van ni.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
Amah a hnawt thai pawt dongah n'hnalval uh cakhaw anih tah uepom la naeh ngawn ta.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
He rhoek he thoelh pah. Pathen hmaiah naenam pawt ham kang uen. A hoeikhang ham pawt he aka ya rhoek kah pocinah ham ni te.
15 Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth.
Oltak olka te aka paekhlae, aka birhih pawh bibikung tih namah te Pathen taengah ueppang koi la pai hamla haam lah.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
Tedae a rhonging kah olhong te rhael, hlangrhong khuila muep cungphoek uh ve.
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Amih kah olka te khaw hmapuek manrhaicak bangla cet ni. Te khuiah Hymenaeus neh Philetu om rhoi.
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
Amih rhoi loh oltak te a hlihloeh sak rhoi tih thohkoepnah om coeng a ti rhoi. Te vaengah hlangvang kah tangnah te a palet rhoi.
19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."
Tedae Pathen kah khoengim tah khangmai la pai. Hekah kutnoek aka om dongah amah kah la aka om rhoek te Boeipa loh aming. Te dongah Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih long tah boethae lamloh nong saeh.
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
Tahae kah im puei ah sui neh caben hnopai bueng pawt tih thing neh diklai umam khaw om. Te dongah a ngen tah thangpomnah ham om dae a tloe te tah yahpohnah la om.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.
Te dongah khat khat loh he lamkah amah a cilpoe atah boeikung kah a congpang koi neh bibi then boeih ham a hmoel tih a ciim thangpomnah hnopai la om ni.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Te dongah cadongcaloe kah hoehhamnah te rhaelrham tak lamtah duengnah, tangnah, lungnah, thinko a caih la Boeipa aka phoei rhoek neh rhoeprhoinah te huul lah.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
Tedae aka ang neh angvawk kah olpungnah te hnawt lamtah rhalthohnah ni a saii uh tila ming lah.
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
Te dongah Boeipa kah sal loh hnueih ham a kuek moenih. Tedae a cungkuem ham kodo la khala neh ueh ham a kuek.
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
Thimkalh rhoek muelhtuetnah neh toel mai. Amih te Pathen loh oltak mingnah dongla yutnah khaw a paek khaming.
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
Te daengah ni amah loh amah kongaih la a tuuk khaw rhaithae kah thaang lamloh a sae uh eh.
